Galli Cricket !!

Hello everyone !! It's been a long time without any topics. Had few rough weeks and now it's all fine and normal. For now, it's time for some fun cricketing moments.                                                          




Have you ever played Galli Cricket ?? Do you have any plans of doing it right away ?? Then don't miss the fun. You will have the best time and moments to cherish.                                                      

"Galli Cricket" also known as "Street Cricket" is the most popular sport in our country. A couple of stones, a tennis ball, an oil bat with very few players in a small street surrounded with residential buildings makes it a crazy sport. And the rules and regulations makes it even more crazier. Here the toss happens with a stone in your hand and who cares what happens on the street. No one is really bothered about a car parked aside or a grandfather walking across the street. The one who has a bat and stumps is the captain and the side who wins has a chance to bat first in the next match. Joker, he is the trump card and has a chance to bat for both the teams. Their is no age bar for this game.

Recently, I have been involved with this sport, had super fun and also got patched up with band aids. Some of those extreme moments come as you try to be the best. You will find different material of sportsmen here, some bat very well, few bowl with some intense looks trying to mock the batsman, few always drop a catch of the same player and few who always get out hitting the ball into neighbor's house with "beware of dogs" board to it and finally few who play to impress the girl next door. This gets even more interesting when you smash your enemy neighbor's glass window. Their are fights against decisions which are very common. The best of all is when rain interrupts the game or even if the sun is right over your head and no one cares. The amount of water we consume and the sweat poring out makes even a professional playing such cricket look normal. Such is the intense and they even say most of the professional players in our country started this game with Galli cricket.

I would have missed many other moments, but these are a few I remember forever. And I feel sad for this generation who are more into gadgets and missing such fun. Enjoy your game on the field.

Have a Great Week !!!

Cheers !!!
